Cigar over South of Corona, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It traveled slowly like a blimp but I feel it wasn't a blimp. Can you let me know if this was a space ship. I believe in aliens and ships. It glided so softly behind a mountain and then came out from behind. Wow. I really believe it was real. Took me a few days to come to terms that is probably was a space ship.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #168344). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
